Effective Release Management

Effective release management is crucial for maintaining system performance and user satisfaction. There are three types of Veeva releases that require coordinated management: general, project, and operational. Typically, customers adopt a release management strategy that aligns project and operational releases with Veeva’s predictable general release timeline.

• General Release: Regularly scheduled Vault release with a mix of auto-on and configurable features. Occurs every 4 months, or 3 times per year.
• Project Release: Release that deploys a new Vault application or major piece of functionality. Timing determined by the customer.
• Operational Release: Release that enables configurable features or fixes configuration glitches. Timing determined by the customer.

Best Practices for Release Management

• Comprehensive View: Think across Vaults to uncover interdependencies, streamline processes, and promote collaboration. This holistic approach maximizes the value of multi-Vault deployments.
• Critical Conversations: Keep communication channels open, especially with more remote work. Use tools like Zoom to gather input from business partners and involve end users with firsthand experience.
• Prioritization: Use a structured framework to focus releases on business-critical features. Common metrics include business value, regulatory impact, effort required, and the number of users benefiting.

By following these best practices and collaborating with Compliance Group, you can ensure your Veeva system remains efficient, compliant, and aligned with your business goals, ultimately driving success and value for your organization.
